No Air conditioning but lots of fans and we were glad to book a room with ensuite bathroom. Our corner room was wonderful! And withthe Farmer's Market right putside, what a great and lively street to enjoy!

Our room was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The only things that could be improved are having to go across the street to get ice and no phone in the room.

Don’t think this is a hotel! It’s a hostel with shared bathrooms and definitely not worth the money! The noise was horrible on the first floor- from the street and inside the hallway. We couldn’t sleep from before midnight and past 5am because of the noise! Also no where does it mention that pool and sauna are all in the other MAIN hotel that is across the road and no one wants to wear a robe and run in a middle of Ballard across streets to go to spa that is advertised here! Don’t book it! It’s a total garbage!

My daughter lives in Ballard and said we should get a room at the Ballard Inn. She was thinking of the Ballard hotel, the newer part of this establishment. Ballard inn is “historic” and creaky, smells musty. Our room had a portable floor air conditioner that couldn’t be noisier. The television didn’t work properly, there was no way to get in touch with the desk except call from our mobile (different building) and that was a 1 out of 5 chance they would answer the phone. We had a shared bathroom with the entire hall (I thought we had adjoining rooms and shared a bathroom with our family). For $400+ a night this was a loss. One nice feature, the gym next door was nice and we had full access. The noise outside was like Bourbon street but they did supply ear plugs. We had to drag our bags up the stairs and there is no valet. I travel a lot for work. This reminded of an economy inn or a boarding house. The hotel looks pretty nice- so if you book this place, I would say make sure you are in the hotel not the inn.

This is an old hotel that has no staffing - you must go to another hotel nearby to checkin. This hotel was stuffy and smelly, the room was very, very basic, with standing AC unit with pipe out the window, remote control for TV didn't work. Paying $300+ for this room felt outlandish. The staff (who come from the other hotel) were lovely, the other hotel is lovely. But please know that the pictures of the gym are not in this facility, which is rather run down.

Your website is very misleading if I would have known that I was staying in a hostel I would not have booked with you. I paid almost 300 for a tiny bedroom and had to walk to hotel ballard to do everything. Very unhappy. Your hotel is awful I will never stay again. And I will never recommend anyone else. I feel like I need a refund because I feel so mislead. If I could rate it a 0 I would.

the room was in a building not staffed close to the sidewalk. So small the bed took up all space in room no closet and the television required a computer specialist to make it work. The best thing about the room was a very comfortable bed

No breakfast provided only coffee service. Old fashioned hotel which I expected, bathroom across the hall. Nice that robe was provided. I appreciated the complimentary parking and pass to health club (but I didnt have time to use the latter.)

Very very small room. d.
